1Q84

This is the longest book I have ever read.

Possibly with more intensity than any other.

It does not have a typical Murakami ending.

Which gives me a strange hope for the future.

For the last two weeks, living in my own world. 

Never has a book consumed me so fully.

You build your own reality.

You have to write your own story.

The path back to the world you want to exist in.

Might not lead you to the reality that once existed.

But with the right person next to you holding your hand.

It doesn't matter which road you choose or where it leads.

"The air was startlingly fresh, and the stillness filled the surrounding space.  The perfectly clear sky seemed to soar upward, and the warmth of the sunlight gently touched any skin directly exposed to it."

This is what I want it to feel like where I live.  I want to move to the country.

"Either I'm funny or the world's funny, I don't know which.  The bottle and lid don't fit. It could be the bottle's fault or the lid's fault.  In either case, there's no denying that the fit is bad."

１Q８４

Like it or not, I'm here now, in the year 2Q13.  The 2013 that I knew no longer exists.  It's 2Q13 now.  The air has changed, the scene has changed.  I have to adapt to this world-with-a-question-mark as soon as I can.  Like an animal released into a forest.  In order to survive, I have to learn the rules of this place and adapt myself to them."
